Hogwarts

It was a wonderful September morning when I heard a knock at the door, as I was going to answer it, it fell over in pieces, and there in the doorway stood a large figure, with a mangled beard and tattered clothes. "You're a wizard" he says when he sees the shock in my face. Wow, he gets right to the fucking point
"And you are?" I joke, knowing exactly who stands in my doorway
"I am Hagrid, and you, my dear, are a wizard."
"Yeah, I think we got that bit sorted out already."
"So, there it is, you're wizard, I'm Hagrid, let's go get your wizard shit."

He did his cool wizard thing when we get to the secret passageway to Diagon Ally, I've seen it thousands of times, watching and re watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (And of course read it as well) but it was so much cooler in person
"So, can I get an owl? Wait no, I want a toad, toads are the bomb"
"Toads are so the bomb"

"So," Hagrid starts after we go shopping for my wizard things, "What is it you need to know about wizards?"
"Well, are there any riles I should be aware of?"
"Well, muggles cannot know of magic what so ever"
"But, my dear, they already do, there is a book out about it, it's very very good, you know"
"But do they KNOW that it's real? See there's always been stories of witches and wizard and things of that nature but nobody ever believes them"
"Oh, Hagrid, they know." I said this as dramatically as I could.
"Well then my friend, let us strike a deal."

He went on to explain his plan, where I stay at home and study witchcraft on my own,and do my best to keep the muggles from believing in magic, then when all of the books and the movies came to an end, I was allowed to expose wizardry completely. I wasn't allowed to contact anyone at Hogwarts until that time, except through letters, which I was not allowed to keep.
Though we could not talk before, once Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part Two came out I got a letter from a very familiar owl, Ron's owl, his note went like this:

Dearest Simona,
First of all I would like to commend you on your amazing will power, I don't understand how you could live among muggles your entire life with this secret in your head. Second, I just want you to know, that JK Rowling actually got it right, in fact, I am half convinced that you leaked some of our information, however, I trust you too much to ever believe that, anyway, I just thought I would let you know that you are now allowed to announce it all to the world, do this however you please.

Love, Ron

I always did love getting letters from Ron, he really is a great friend. So, as Hagrid himself ordered, I am now telling the world that this alternate universe we've all spent our lives dreaming about, is, in fact true, every last bit of it, this must be truly exiting for someone who hadn't been living it her whole life (It's certainly exiting for me, as well, though I won't admit it) I suppose the only pitfall of this whole magical story is that we do not get to enjoy magic ourselves, but we get to enjoy the magic of the wonderful story that unfolded right before out eyes, and that, my friend, is the best magic of all.

Nerdfighters!!

So, I've been really into vlogbrothers recently, I've liked them ever sense like December of 2008, I've just never really kept up with their videos or considered myself a nerdfighter until a couple months ago, and sense then, I've been obsessed. Which I guess is a common trait of nerdfighters.

For those of you who are confused:
Nerdfighter: (n.)
Someone who, in stead of being made of flesh and blood and stuff, is in fact made of awesome.

I should really be getting to bed now, I have two late nights ahead of me, Love you guys, DFTBA
